A Classy Ten Mile Station Wedding in Breckenridge, CO


Dying to get married in Breckenridge? Look no further! This class Ten Mile Station wedding film will make your decision easy.


As a Breckenridge photo & video team, a Ten Mile Station wedding is a *right at home* ideal day! It’s absolutely one of our favorite Breckenridge wedding venues – and so fun to visit in the summer & fall. A huge difference from how it looks skiing past it during the winter!

A mountaintop ski lodge at its core, Ten Mile Station is brimming with views & aprés vibes. You really don’t need much else!

Lindsay & RJ had a gorgeous palette of blues & creams – and C’MON, look at RJ’s suit jacket! When your “something blue” is him. 🙂 Lindsay’s gown was one of our favorites of the season, and sparkled beautifully in both the natural sunlight and during their dance.

Speaking of dance! Lindsay is a Dallas Stars Ice Girl, and it’s a tradition for the team to do a dance at each of their wedding receptions. So fun!

Add that to the couple’s choreographed first dance & guests who were ready to party, this wedding film has some of our favorite dance sequences we’ve ever shared!

We’ve watched this one over and over and still it doesn’t cease to make us smile from ear to ear.

If you’re still in search of an amazing Breckenridge venue to host your big day, give this Ten Mile Station wedding film a watch. We think it’ll convince you!

And for good measure, here’s an example of some Ten Mile Station video content we’ve shared to Instagram. It’s one of our most popular reels. Can’t get enough!

Winter Engagement at Sapphire Point


Let’s plan a winter engagement at Sapphire Point, just like Anna & Chad did!


winter engagement at sapphire point

Anna & Chad joined us all the way from South Dakota for their winter engagement at Sapphire Point! They wanted mountains, so mountains we gave them!

Have you been to Sapphire Point Overlook?

Sapphire is one of the most popular viewpoint locations in Summit County – and we can’t say we don’t see why! Located on Swan Mountain Road, it’s situated between Frisco, Dillon/Silverthorne, & Breckenridge with gorgeous views of the Ten Mile Range & Lake Dillon. It’s especially a popular & great spot in the winter, as it’s easily accessible due to Swan Mountain Road always being plowed!

Here’s another fave winter engagement session at Sapphire. And here’s a winter wedding there.

A few things to consider when considering Sapphire Point in the winter:

  • Engagement sessions don’t need a permit, but elopements & weddings do! If you’re planning a ceremony, the calendar opens exactly 6 months out. Here’s the link to book your date & time slot!
  • It’s super popular & can get crowded! If privacy is a priority, this might not be the right choice for you.
  • Bring boots during the winter months – here that’s October through April! The trail leading down to the overlook can get very icy!

I hope that helps! Happy Sapphire Point planning!

I’ve (Shanna) known Anna since high school. We were on opposing softball teams for several years before our teams joined together. We played a lot of years of ball together & always had the best time. It was such an honor when she connected about hiring us for their engagement session & wedding!

Take a look!

Let’s schedule your engagement session!

Erin & Connor’s Rainy Breckenridge Cabin Wedding


They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. Erin + Connor really put that to the test when they planned their June Breckenridge cabin wedding!


Erin + Connor are high school sweethearts. World travelers. Best friends. They literally are THE definition of genuinely perfect match-made-in-heaven true love. They’d say their dreams came true on the day they got married – but truly, joining them for their rainy Breckenridge cabin wedding day, ours did, too.

Disclaimer: I’m super late to the game posting this day. Sometimes the best days are the hardest ones to blog because where do you start?

Our initial phone call was during the onset of Covid and went a little something like this: “if this whole thing is still happening next June (which was well over a year away at that point), what will we do?” We all laughed and laughed because we couldn’t have fathomed how long it would end up lasted. Jokes.

When we first met these two in person at their engagement session, it felt like greeting long lost friends. It rained that day, too. Check it out here!

Nothing is more Colorado than a Breckenridge cabin wedding.

The storm began to roll in just after their first look & private vows. We snagged some fun shots with the umbrella before heading inside. As most mountain rainstorms roll through quickly, this one settled into the valley and didn’t let up. We attempted to wait it out before eventually making the call to have the ceremony indoors. These two are no strangers to rolling with it, and they were total champs about the plan change.

Custom camp mugs. A stone fireplace. The Blue River. Friends, family. All the perfect things you could want at your wedding – all rolled into one beautiful day. Even despite the rain.

We’re thrilled to share their film! Grab your tissues.

Here’s what Erin + Connor said about their photos!

WE ARE OBSESSED!!!! Crying looking at these! Wow wow wow I don’t even have words!! Thank you guys so much for these amazing photos. We can’t wait for the video 😭🤍 They are truly amazing photos and we will cherish them forever.

Erin + Connor

And when they received their film!

WOW. Just wow. Tears flowing down my face. I saw this email that our film was ready while I was at work and I instantly texted Connor that it was here!! I promised to watch it first with him when I got home…that was the longest 12 hours of my life haha. But it was so worth it!!! The video is everything we could’ve hoped for and more! You two are just so good at what you do and we are so thankful we chose you to document our wedding day. The song- what!! So perfect! And all of the shots and clips you guys chose were absolutely amazing. It brought back amazing memories from that day and I can’t want to watch this over and over and over again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts- we could not be more grateful to have met you two and have you there on our big day. 

We have so much love for you guys!

Erin + Connor

Rain on your wedding day isn’t so bad. Take a look!

The Benefit of Professional Photos for Your Airbnb Listing


In a sea of short term rentals, professional photos for your Airbnb listing & Instagram account make your property stand out and get booked!


professional photos for your airbnb listing

Let’s talk about the many benefits of professional photos for your Airbnb listing & Instagram account – or simply your online presence.

We live in arguably one of the most saturated short term rental areas in the country. And we get it! Colorado (the Breckenridge area, specifically) is a desirable location for an investment property. The appeal is easy to understand. Block off the dates you want to visit with your own family, and list the rest of the calendar to share your property with others who also want to enjoy our beautiful mountains!

The popularity, though, presents an added task for short term rental hosts. How to make your property stand out among all the rest.

So, how do you do just that? When potential guests are scrolling the apps looking for a place to stay, how do you increase the likelihood they’ll stop on your listing?

Short term rental success isn’t a one-simple-step process.

It’s about the design.
About having a unique property.
About being a good host.
It’s about thinking of your guests’ & neighbors’ experiences over making a “quick buck”.

But, we’re not hosting experts, so we won’t speak in detail to any of that. What we can share about, though, is the visual aspect of your content. Once you’ve taken care of the above, take the extra step to set your listing & Instagram account apart.

Invest in professional photos for your Airbnb listing!

Let’s look specifically at Backcountry A-frame in Kremmling, CO.

Backcountry Aframe is everything a gorgeous & thoughtful short term rental should be. It checks off each box.

This is a small sampling of the variety & style of photos from the Backcountry Aframe project.

You can view Backcountry Aframe’s Airbnb listing here, and you can follow along on their Instagram account here. Speaking of IG – the following are great examples of how we’ve collaborated with Backcountry A-frame on the platform with reels.

What Janice has to say about investing in professional photos for Backcountry Aframe.

Professional photography is massively important to help market any short-term rental. Visual storytelling is very different from your traditional real estate listing photography. Basecamp Visual understands how to create inviting content and images to draw in a guest. We’ve used Basecamp Visual for both of our short-term rentals and our occupancy and daily rate outpace the market for both rentals.

Pricing & Information

*Pricing & Collection Information listed here is a general starting rate and is subject to change based on dates, location, property size, and more. Please inquire directly for a quote specific to your property.*

STR Listing & Social Content packages start at $750. An average investment for a local to us (Park & Summit Counties, Colorado) vacation rental photo content gallery is typically right around $1000. Your total investment varies depending on exact property size, location, and other details.

Aerial video & photos are also available, as well as video in the form of short interior clips that can be used for reels, with the option to also be compiled together for a longer website header film. That pricing begins at an additional $1000. Here’s a link to an IG reel that shows an example of what this type of video content can look like.

Let’s talk about how professional photos can elevate your Airbnb’s listing – ultimately filling your calendar & booking more dates!

Who Should Hire a Branding Photographer?


Have you been wondering if professional branding photos are for you? Here’s our take on who should hire a branding photographer.

Spoiler: branding photos are for everyone!


Who Should Hire a Branding Photographer?

It’s 2023. If you have a business, or work for a business, you likely also have a website, social media platforms, Google Business page, and more. When people are looking to hire someone in your trade, they’ll go to these places to view your work and read your copy & past client testimonials. If you put yourselves in the shoes of a consumer, you do the same thing!

Let’s think about it like this: when you’re looking to invest your own hard-earned money in someone, what do you value? What do you trust? Do you feel confident about a website with minimal content, stock imagery, and no updated photos on the About page?

Or…

Do you trust a well-built website with client resources & engaging copy, an origin story & quality photos of who you’re hiring, and an abundance of real-life portfolio examples? Just to name a few…

I think you know the answer.

So, how do you know if you should hire a branding photographer?

It’s easy. Everyone should hire a branding photographer. We can’t think of a single person or business who wouldn’t benefit from it.

Breckenridge Branding Photographer & Videographer

Here’s a short list of the kind of clients who decide brand photography was for them:

  • Short Term Rental Property Owners
  • Accountants
  • Arborists
  • Luxury Real Estate Agents
  • Brand Designers
  • Outerwear Fashion Designers
  • Private Equity Investors
  • Boutique Owners
  • Metalsmiths
  • Financial Advisors
  • Restaurant Owners
  • Fly-fishing Instructors
  • Website Designers
  • Florists
  • Wedding Venue Owners

It might be hard to see what these people have in common, right? What does an Accountant have in common with a Florist? How could we compare a Real Estate Agent to a Metalsmith?

What ties all these people together?

It’s easier to answer this than you may think! They all value quality photo & video content & they’re ready to share their stories.

Whether it’s their art, or their passion for service, or their unique skillset that solves their own clients’ pain points, it’s all a story worth telling.

The kind of work you do matters very little when it’s something you’re invested in. If you love what you offer to the world (which each of the above people certainly do), brand photography is for you.

So, YOU should hire a branding photographer. Working with numbers or with paint; with people or with food; with tourists or local business owners – whatever it is, it’s your story. Let’s explore it.
